Pozar-Edessa

45.00€

An idyllic day trip combining total relaxation in nature

We enjoy the therapeutic qualities of the healing hot springs of Pozar in the fascinating external natural pools, just where the nature established an absolute picturesque landscape against the view of Mount Voras, northwest of Aridaia. The healing water spewed out in a constant temperature of 37° C sets a feeling of body well-ness. The water is also known is for the drinking therapy (you can drink the water for body healing), revitalization and relaxation; a natural spa in the altitude of 400m against a fascinating scenery.

We combine the relaxation in Pozar, with the city of Edessa where the biggest waterfalls in Balkans are located, verifying its first name as the “city of waters”.

Following is a visit to the picturesque city of Edessa.

Its name means “Tower in the water” due to the presence of strong liquid element in the city since ancient times. We have free time to admire the rushing waterfalls and to take pictures of the enchanting landscape. Where the park of waterfalls meets the edge of the rock, or as it is otherwise called “the eyebrow of the city”, is located according to the great Greek writer Menelaos Lountemis, “the step where God steps to ascend to heaven”. The water of the waterfalls comes from the springs that are supplied by the snows of Mount Kaimaktsalan (or North).

DESCRIPTION OF THE EXCURSION
The route is 110km. and lasts about 1.5 hours. One version of the meaning of the name “Pozar” is “after the charcoal” while another is

“Under the fire”, which is an indication that there was an older site of the village which was burned or set on fire and so the inhabitants named

Pozar their new village.

We arrive at the enchanting Pozar Baths, a spa in nature. The thermal waters penetrate to the ground reaching great depths, warm up, rise

again on the surface and in their course they are enriched with minerals and trace elements.
